Democrats Greet Clinton Book Tour With Mixed Emotions

by Caitlin Huey-Burns at realclearpolitics:

“As Hillary Clinton prepares for a multi-state tour to promote her memoir of the 2016 campaign, Democrats are already registering mixed reviews.

Some in the party fear her planned reemergence will reopen old wounds and reinforce divides at a time when Democrats are desperate to move on. Others believe their presidential nominee, who made history as the first woman from a major party, deserves a platform to offer her assessment of what happened, which happens to be the title of the new book. And some are shrugging it off altogether, arguing there are more immediate tasks at hand and that the fast-changing news cycle—including another deadly hurricane—will swallow it anyway.

Tuesday marks the official publication date for the memoir, and the expensive, 15-city tour begins in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 18. Clinton will kick it off on CBS on Sunday, her first official interview 10 months after the bruising campaign.

But excerpts of the book have already stirred up news and some controversy. In one notable example, the former Democratic presidential nominee argues that Bernie Sanders‘ attacks during the primary “caused lasting damage” on her campaign and served as a boon to Donald Trump.

To that, Sanders expressed feelings that are widespread within the party by saying, in an interview with The Hill: “It’s appropriate to look forward and not backward.”

It Appears That Out-of-State Voters Changed the Outcome of the New Hampshire U.S. Senate Race

“For years, the mainstream media has ignored the problem of voter fraud and belittled those of us who are trying to do something about it. And when secretaries of state like me identify cases of fraud, we are told that the number of incidents of voter fraud is too insignificant to matter.

Now, however, facts have come to light that indicate that a pivotal, close election was likely changed through voter fraud on November 8, 2016: New Hampshire’s U.S. Senate Seat, and perhaps also New Hampshire’s four electoral college votes in the presidential election.

New Hampshire is one of fifteen states that allow same-day voter registration. The benefit of same-day registration is that it allows a person who has procrastinated or has forgotten to register to nonetheless cast a ballot on election day. The downside of same-day registration is that it does not allow the state time to assess the eligibility of the voter. A volunteer poll worker simply accepts a modicum of identification and takes the voter at his word that he’s a U.S. citizen resident of the state who is eligible to vote.

New Hampshire is also a battleground state. Unlike neighboring Massachusetts and Vermont, which reliably vote for the Democrat in presidential elections, New Hampshire can swing either way. It has long been reported, anecdotally, that out-of-staters take advantage of New Hampshire’s same-day registration and head to the Granite State to cast fraudulent votes.

Now there’s proof.

According to statistics released by the Speaker of the New Hampshire House of Representatives, on the date of the general election in November 2016, there were 6,540 same-day registrants who registered to vote in New Hampshire using an out-of-statedriver’s license to prove their identity. In and of itself, that doesn’t prove that any fraud occurred – theoretically, each of those individuals could have been someone who recently moved to the State and had not yet had time to get a New Hampshire driver’s license. According to New Hampshire law, a new resident has 60 days to obtain a New Hampshire driver’s license.

So if those 6,540 voters were bona fide New Hampshire residents, they would get their driver’s license no later than January 7, 2017. However, the numbers tell a very different story. It turns out that, as of August 30, 2017 – nearly ten months after the election – only 1,014 of the 6,540 same-day registrants who registered with an out-of-state license had obtained a New Hampshire driver’s license. The other 5,526 individuals never obtained a New Hampshire driver’s license. And, of those 5,526, only 213 registered a vehicle in New Hampshire.

So 5,313 of those voters neither obtained a New Hampshire driver’s license nor registered a vehicle in New Hampshire. They have not followed the legal requirements for residents regarding driver’s licenses, and it appears that they are not actually residing in New Hampshire. It seems that they never were bona fide residents of the State.

5,513 is a big number – more than enough to swing two very important elections. The closest major election was the contest between incumbent Republican U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte and challenger Maggie Hassan (D). Hassan won the election by a razor-thin marginof 1,017 votes. Those 5,313 fraudulent votes were more than enough to swing the election. If 59.2 percent or more of them went for Hassan, then the election was stolen through voter fraud. That’s likely, since the surrounding states are Democrat strongholds……….” Please read on!
